2. CH 1: To bring this channel into program output (PGM), you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (10) to toggle from PH 1/LN 1 to LN 2 on this channel. Once you've selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH 1 SLIDE CONTROL (11) to a comfortable level. You can further modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (12), HIGH (13), MID (14), LOW (15) controls located above the CH 1 SLIDE CONTROL (11). 3. CH 2: To bring this channel into PGM, you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (10) to toggle from PH 2/LN 3 to LN 4 on this channel. Once you've selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH 2 SLIDE CONTROL (11) to a comfortable level. You can further modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (12), HIGH (13), MID (14), LOW (15) controls located above the CH 2 SLIDE CONTROL (11). 4. CH 3: To bring this channel into PGM, you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (10) to toggle from LN 5 to LN 6 on this channel. Once you've selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH 3 SLIDE CONTROL (11) to a comfortable level. You can further modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (12), HIGH (13), MID (14), LOW (15) controls located above the CH 3 SLIDE CONTROL (11).

CONNECTIONS:

1. Ensure that the POWER SWITCH (1) is in the OFF position prior to making any connections. This unit comes with a power cord. Plug into the rear panel POWER CORD (2) jack before plugging it into a proper power source. 2. The PS-626x has 2 stereo outputs located on the rear panel:
- The MASTER RCA OUTPUT (3) connects the mixer to your main amplifier using standard audio cables with RCA-type connectors.

NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, BEGIN PROGRAM MIX WITH ROTARY GAIN (12) CONTROLS SET TO MINIMUM (ROTATE IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO THE COUNTER CLOCKWISE POSITION). MAKE ALL ADJUSTMENTS IN SOUND OUTPUT WITH THE USE OF YOUR CHANNEL SLIDE CONTROLS AND MASTER (21) VOLUME ROTARY CONTROLS. THIS WILL PREVENT SIGNAL OVERLOAD AND DECREASE DISTORTION. ONCE YOU HAVE MODIFIED YOUR SOUND AND WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT OF YOUR SOUND, THEN YOU MAY ADJUST THE ROTARY GAIN CONTROL IF NEEDED.
5. CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONE (5) jack, you can monitor any or all channels.
